    dd a new option (-H) to daemon(8) to catch SIGHUP and re-open output_file
file when
    received.

    The default system log rotation mechanism (newsyslog(8)) requires ability
to send
    signal to a daemon in order to properly complete rotation of the logs in an
"atomic"
    manner without having to making a copy and truncating original file.
Unfortunately
    our built-in mechanism to convert "dumb" programs into daemons has no way
to handle
    this rotation properly. This change adds this ability, to be enabled by
supplying -H
    option in addition to the -o option.
